Out of curiousity, given a userbase the size you have, why are you using unix users rather than say LDAP or SQL?
Traditional reasons. This system was installed over ten years ago and was changed over time.
We first started with courier (I think?) or uw-imap (I have no idea - mists of time and all that)
I just asked a colleague who still had the old docs I wrote ages ago. But those were discarded when he changed offices.
